What the Negro Wanted.

Talking about earthquakes, a
well.known actor told us story
the other day anent the recent
Charleston shakeup, which will
bear repeating if he hasn't already
spread it around to such an extent
as to lend to its further circ nlation
an odor of antiquity. He was in
Charleston, he said, at the time Of
the first severe shock and overheard
a terrified darkey's supplicatiOns to
heaven for reliei. The old 'larkey
came running out Of his CABIN
frightened beyond description, his
eyes bnlged out with terror, his
clothing rent and disheveled, and
as his former abode crumbled be
fore his eyes, he dropped upoI
his face on the ground, and, In the
widest agony cried aloud, ooh
Lor' cum down, cum down an hell
us ; cum yo'self, dom sem yo' son
dis am no chile's play p'-Er.

A STRANGE PRERONITlON.

"Those are very peculiar circum-
stances" said a forth member of the
symposium. "Did you read that
story in the Century war notes
abont the man whom presentlment
told to Jump just at the moment
when a shell whizzed under his
feet? Well, l witnessed something
almost exactly on the same plan.
The directors of a railroad had left
a certain city to come to Pittsburg,
travelling on a special car. Soon
after their departure they discover
ed that they had left their VICE
President, so they had to 60 back
after him. Well, they made a sec
ond start, and soon we're making
rapid headway toward this city.
On board were, among the rest,
the superintendents of the eastern
and western divisions Of the road,
respectively. The train was on the
eastern division at the time, 80 that
the superintendent of that portion
of the road did not like it when his
western colleague came to him and
asked whether be had bis schedule.
